Chapter 16: The Trapped Land

Nine years after the ice period disappeared, everything in heaven and earth began to recover, and the living environment in the desert was much better than before.

But the sand fire, there is still no hope.

At the beginning of the Ice Age more than 100 years ago, the ancestors of the Sand Tribe decided to cross the desert to survive, and were later chased by a fire tribe.

The Fire Tribe prophesied to the Sand Tribe, and instead of going deep into the oasis, they chose to live in the desert on the edge of the oasis.

The group of Fire Tribe tribesmen did not brave the cold ice period to return to the Fire Tribe, but chose to stay in the Sand Tribe, wanting to wait for the end of the cold ice period to go back.

In the bloodline of the sand fire, there is the blood of the people of the fire tribe.

Back then, the Sand Tribe avoided the green tree that fell from the sky and the destruction of the tribe because of the reminder of the Fire Tribe clansmen, but the subsequent changes failed to escape after all.

The tree smashed into the oasis, the oasis shook and died, the sand scattered, and gradually a ruined city emerged.

The sand tribes living in the desert outside the edge of the oasis are also enveloped in this city.

When the shock subsided, and the Sand tribe tried to retreat a little, they found that an invisible barrier appeared around the city, enclosing them inside.

Also enclosed here are the tribes that once lived on the oasis:

Black Feather Tribe.

The two tribes were confined here, and from the very beginning they began to live with the big trees as the middle boundary, one east and one west.

Initially, the two tribes fought several battles with few resources, and in the battles, the two tribes won and lost each other.

Later, the closed world changed, the vegetation began to flourish, and the number of wild beasts increased.

The resources are enough, and although there is still friction between the two tribes, there is a lot less war.

In this predicament, neither tribe has the idea of fighting to the death.

However, more than 100 years later, they still haven't found a way to escape from this place, and now that the wind and snow outside have disappeared, they are still trapped here, how can they not despair.

Sha Huo stood on the two-meter-high, unusually wide wall, reaching out to touch the invisible barrier.

It still stands, holding the tribe from leaving.

"Chief, there's a member of the Black Feather tribe coming. ”

At this moment, a warrior came behind him and said.

Sha Huo turned around and glanced at the warrior before withdrawing his hand from the light film.

"Haven't we already negotiated a truce, what are they doing here?"

Shahuo asked in a deep voice.

The ice period disappeared, but they watched the outside recover and they could not go out, and the people of the two tribes became more and more irritable.

The friction escalated, and not long ago the two tribes fought again, and in the end, it was under the active mediation of Shahuo that the two tribes stopped fighting.

"They said they saw footprints there as well. ”

Hearing the warrior's words, Shahuo turned into yellow sand and instantly came to the warrior's side.

"Where?"

Sha Huo stood in front of the warrior and asked excitedly.

About a month ago, the invisible barrier suddenly shook, and the sand and fire looked at it, and huge golden footprints appeared on it.

Although he didn't know what was going on, it was a way out after all, so he hurriedly organized his people to attack the barrier and try to get in touch, but unfortunately the footprints were only fleeting and soon disappeared.

Since then, he has often come here to wait, but unfortunately he has never seen him again.

"Under the big tree. ”

The warrior replied.

"Hum. ”

The sand fire instantly turned into yellow sand, floating and rolling towards the place where the central tree had fallen.

When he traveled in the form of wind and sand, he was extremely fast, and he could pass through a small space, and he was not hindered by anyone or anything along the way, and soon came to the foot of a large tree with a round canopy.

A man with black wings behind him was standing there, his all-black eyes staring at the drifting yellow sand.

"Hum. ”

The yellow sand condensed in front of him, forming the appearance of sand fire in an instant: "Black eyes, where did you find the imprint?"

"West, follow me. ”

After the black eyes finished speaking, his feet slammed towards the sky, and after reaching the commanding heights, his wings spread out, and he flew directly to the west.

The altitude at which he flies is not very high, in fact, although the Black Feather tribesmen have wings, they cannot fly at high altitudes, and their flight altitude is basically determined by the height of their jump.

Seeing that the black eyes acted directly, Sha Huo turned into yellow sand again, following the black eyes on the ground, and the two of them went up and down quickly.

Soon after, the two of them came to a section of the city wall to the west, and sure enough, there was a huge footprint in the sky where it was constantly trampling.

"Boom...... Rumble...... Boom ......"

With each step, the golden footprints will spread out many golden lines, spreading along the transparent barrier.

"Is there any way you can get in touch?"

Sha Huo asked, looking at the golden footprints.

The black eyes shook his head, looked at Shahuo and said, "I sometimes wonder if this invisible barrier is trapping us or protecting us. ”

Sha Huo was stunned for a moment, frowning and looking at the black eyes: "What do you mean?"

"If the owner of this golden footprint breaks through this invisible barrier, do you think we can beat him?"

Black EyesA pair of dark eyes stared at the sand fire, which made him very uncomfortable.

"What do you mean has changed on the outside?"

Shahuo asked.

"It's been more than a hundred years, and it's not an accident what kind of changes have happened outside, is it?"

The black eyes turned their heads, looked at the footprints that kept appearing, and said again.

Shahuo was silent, and he acquiesced to the words of the black eyes.

"I know that the remnants of the Fire Tribe in your Sand Tribe still want to return to the Fire Tribe, which may also include you, but ......"

With a glint in his dark eyes, he said, "Even if you are looking for death, please don't take all of us with you." ”

The two tribes have lived in this troubled place for more than a hundred years, how could the Black Feather tribe not know about the problems within the Sand Tribe.

Ever since that group of Fire Tribe people merged into the Sand Tribe, they have been encouraging the entire tribe to break through the barriers, march eastward, and return to the Fire Tribe.

Even though it was a cold ice period outside, this argument never stopped, but the more time passed, the more urgent the idea of their return became.

Even before they die, they transmit this idea to their children, and children to children.

Today, this idea has become the most mainstream idea in the Sand Tribe, and the name of Sand Fire and his superiority confirm everything from the other side.

Sha Huo was silent, and the long silence made the black eyes a little surprised, his old enemy was not the character to admit defeat.

Sure enough, when he looked at Shahuo, Shahuo spoke again.

"You're right, but I want to ask you, why do these footprints continue to appear in one position, do you think, is it an accident, or does the existence outside have the intention of breaking this barrier?"

Sha Huo looked at the black eyes and asked mockingly.

The black eyes frowned, which was what he was worried about, and it was also the reason why he warned Shahuo.

This footprint kicked in the same place one by one, as long as he was not a fool, he knew that there was something wrong with this, he was afraid that the sand and fire should be combined to help the unknown existence break through this barrier.

But even if the inside and the outside are not combined, then the existence cannot be broken?

"More than 100 years in the Trapped Land have made the Black Feather Tribe lose their courage and ambition to survive in this world, maybe without war, you will play to your own death. ”

After Sha Huo finished speaking, he couldn't refuse to turn around and leave directly.

The black eyes stood in place for a long time, and finally waved their black wings angrily, got up and flew away from the place.

Sandfire returns to the place where his tribe gathers, a chaotic land of yellow sand and green shade.

This is the peculiarity of the Trapped Lands, where large trees have grown out of the desert since the walls were raised, and they seem to have no need for water or soil to take root in, making it impossible to understand what they are growing on.

But they just grow, in a strange way that everyone doesn't understand.

"Chief, we hear that the golden footprint has reappeared. ”

When Shahuo returned, a group of warriors gathered together and said excitedly.

Their gathering attracted the attention of many clansmen, some looking at them excitedly, and some looking indifferently.

Those who are indifferent are the purest Sand tribesmen, and they oppose the invasion of the Fire tribesmen into them, and they also oppose the idea of returning to the east.

"Prepare for battle, this time on the side of the Black Feather Tribe, there is a good chance of a battle. ”

Sha Huo said, kneeling on one knee and inserting his right hand into the sand.

The sand at his feet writhed, and after a while, a long knife formed by the convergence of quicksand.

"Prepare for battle. ”

The warriors said excitedly, learning the movements of sand and fire, and gathered the quicksand long knives.

"Gather the warriors and get ready to go. ”

Sha Huo didn't want to waste time, so he quickly gathered the warriors, and in a short time, more than a thousand people appeared here.

"Let the people behind go on their own, and we'll go first. ”

Sand Fire shouted, and was the first to turn into yellow sand.

As he turned into yellow sand, more than a thousand warriors also turned into yellow sand with a buzzing sound.

Then the yellow sand was wrapped together, like a sandstorm, thinking about the northwest direction, which was the direction of the footprints.

When they were very close to where the footprints were, the Black Feather tribesmen flew in the air in front of them.

"Hum. ”

The figure of Sand Fire appeared in the sandstorm, dragged by the swirling yellow sand.

"Black-Eyes, are you going to war?"

Sha Huo asked, holding a quicksand long knife.

The black eyes flew forward for some distance and said, "If I wanted to stop you, I wouldn't tell you that there was a change there. ”

"Then what did you just say......"

Sha Huo said with a frown.

"I must know your determination that the wings of the Black Feather tribe should spread their wings under the sky, not in this troubled place. ”

Black eyes roared.

The warriors flying behind him roared in response to their leader, apparently not wanting to be trapped here.

"Then let's attack the barrier together and break it. ”

After Shahuo finished speaking, his body turned into yellow sand again and entered the sandstorm, leading the sandstorm to fly in the direction where the footprints were.

The warriors of the Black Feather Tribe also followed around the sandstorm, and this time they did not attack each other, but together, they went to break down the barrier that had plagued them for a hundred years.
